Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I'm putting this in chat and not in Technology because I'm also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn't a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of "things that are still good that don't suck." Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

What model ThinkPad? I'm fortunate enough to have an X1 Carbon 10th gen, although I think the battery life might not be as good as my older one, a 7th.

I found a T495 with a Ryzen 7 and licensed Win10 Pro on it. It's a little dated but it's frankly more capability than I really need in a portable computer, and the replacement parts are cheap.

What kind of battery life do you get?

3-ish hours with no throttling and the screen at full brightness, doing normal-ish web browsing and document work (not really using this for gaming). More if I let it throttle and lower the screen brightness.
